I've never heard of Toph or Rainbow Dash, so I assume they must be some sort of anime cartoon. Annnd, since I'd rather pour bleach in my eyes than watch 90% of existing anime. . .
On a side note, the list has three spots open if you discard whatever Toph and Rainbow Dash were, as well as Darkwing Duck. The cartoons deserving of those spots would be Pinky and the Brain ( Realizing that they are two characters, but they are virtually never apart so I think it's fair to consider them as one) , The Tick, and Tex Avery.
Other considerations should have gone to Ren & Stimpy, The Warner Bros and Dot, Batman the Animated Series, and a whole slew of newer cartoon characters including most of Family Guy, The Simpsons, Venture Bros, Harvey Birdman, Space Ghost, Aqua Teen, and as I've been told, but not seen- Archer.
In short, fan of cartoons that I am, I find the idea that two cartoons are included on the list that I've never even heard of, is telling of an uninspired list.
The saving grace is Bugs Bunny, who should be on everyones list of awesome fictional characters, let alone just cartoons.
P.S. I know that I've left some great cartoons out of my shoutouts, but the point was to establish a core group of classic and new, that outdistance the list, rather than specifically mention every great cartoon character.
Errrr... no, they're not in anime, especially not the second one. Toph is from "Avatar: The Last Airbender" and Rainbow Dash is one of the infamous ponies everyone loves.
1st. "Avatar the Last Airbender" is anime. Americanized a little, but definitely anime.
2nd. I still have never heard of "Rainbow Dash", And that includes all posts, articles, shows, websites, and conversations. In fact, until it was mentioned as cartoon in this thread, I would have thought it was either a flavor of lucky charms or a new gay pride parade.
To your other segmented posts
3rd. I should have put Tex Avery in the second list, and specified that I was refering to his work.
4th. I. Don't. Care. Enough. See, I haven't heard of Rainbow Dash, so that tells me that it's not as popular as any number of other shows that I haven't seen. For example, Freakazoid, haven't seen it, but at least I've heard of it. So, no I won't be looking for Rainbow Dash anytime soon. As to Airbender, I am familiar with that cartoon, and the clips that I've seen were enough to convince me that it's another nightmare inspiring anime. So I definitely won't be watching any of that.
If you like those two cartoons, fine, great, good for you, but the point of my post was that there were a ton of other shows/characters more deserving to be on a list of awesome cartoons, even with the limited number of poll options.
